Mortgage payoff planning

Mortgage Extra Payment Calculator

Compare your current mortgage schedule with monthly extra principal, an annual extra payment, and a one-time lump sum.

Leave blank to calculate the payment from the balance, rate, and remaining term. Do not include escrow, property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, or mortgage insurance.
Applied after months 12, 24, 36, and so on.

Results will appear after valid values are entered.

Principal-and-interest payment used Calculated or entered payment
Payoff without extras Estimated regular payoff
Payoff with extras Estimated accelerated payoff
Time saved Difference between the two payoff estimates

Compare the remaining interest

Extra principal reduces the balance used to calculate later interest. The scheduled principal-and-interest payment continues under this calculator’s assumptions.

Interest without extras Estimated interest through regular payoff
Interest with extras Estimated interest through accelerated payoff
Estimated interest saved Difference between the two interest estimates
Extra principal contributed Extra amounts actually applied before payoff

Year-by-year balance comparison

The table compares the estimated remaining balance at each year-end. Interest saved is cumulative through the displayed month.

How this mortgage calculator works

When the monthly principal-and-interest field is blank, the calculator estimates the fixed payment required to amortize the current balance over the remaining term. An entered payment overrides that calculated amount.

Monthly interest Current balance × annual rate ÷ 12
Estimated interest saved Regular interest - accelerated interest

Monthly extra principal is applied after the scheduled payment. The annual extra amount is applied every 12 months. The one-time lump sum is applied after the selected month’s scheduled and monthly extra payments.

The calculator assumes a fixed interest rate, monthly interest, no missed payments, and no change to the required payment after extra principal is applied. It does not model adjustable-rate changes, recasting, refinancing, escrow, daily-interest differences, payment-processing delays, or prepayment penalties.

Confirm with the mortgage servicer that extra amounts will be applied to principal and review the loan terms before making a large payment.

For educational purposes only. Results are estimates and may differ from the servicer’s amortization schedule because of payment dates, rounding, daily-interest methods, fees, escrow, loan terms, and how extra payments are applied.
